The gas gauge shows empty even after the tank is filled. Other 2005 trailblazer models have had a recall on this issue regarding the gas gauge and sensor but my model did not. It also causes the check engine light to come on after putting fuel in the gas tank. The gas gauge shows empty at all times ( when your moving, and stationary). Not accurately knowing how much gas is the vehicle can cause you to stall out while on city streets or on the highway driving 60 MPH.

Always would stall driving around town. I had replaced cam vrr temp sensor fuel throttle. All coils plugs water pump battery motor supports belt windshield washer bottle and motors flush fuel lines. Wheel hubs and bearing rounds crankshaft and power steering pulley power steering pump oil changes 2500 to 3000 miles synthetic oil. All fluids changed and flush rear differential transmission shifter cable. Several diagnostics at chevrolet. Left there they drove it cut off once. Finally, I kept watching gauges oil pressure dropped 44 to zero. Car cut off rectangles it pulled over wait 30 mins. No oil on dip stick. Called firestone took it there. Oil sending unit defective. Changed all oil. They found it. This was a big safety issue over several years for me. Afraid get run over by truck. The vehicle has not cut off one time. I reported to chevrolet. Put in bank there. Please check oil sending unit. Seen numerous trailblazers with this issue. On the web.

Multiple times my trailblazer has stalled without warning. It tends to happen when I am in a stopped position. Whether it is at a stop light or just stopping in general. It takes a minute and then restarts. *js it has also multiple times lost head lights. The last time was at 9pm while driving home with my children in the car. My headlights went out I had to pull over and the only way my lights would work was if I held my high beams on.

My gas gauge had begun acting up. It would say empty even when filled. I would fill it up and the gauge would go to half then back up to full. I did not know for sure how much gas was in the vehicle. I was driving and the car stalled out because it ran out of gas even tho the gauge said full and I was rear ended.
